National Cycle Network Millennium Milepost on the Clyde Walkway by the Bells Bridge in Glasgow. The sculpture was designed by Andrew Rowe, and takes inspiration fron the nautical and industrial heritage of his native Swansea. The rather striking paintwork was designed by Impact Arts and was done in 2022.

Great initiative by the residents in Ardkeen and along Williamstown Road and the Dunmore Road. We need our local government to provide proper segregated cycle paths in order to improve safety and reduce traffic by giving people the option to cycle safely instead of driving!

I actually find people hashtagging every third word in their sentences to be a major access barrier for me, so I'll skip those posts or maybe even block repeat offenders.

I find it much easier to read if they write their post with plain text,
then a paragraph break, then their hashtags

For example

"I love cycle paths! Cycle paths are great!

Australian transport emissions are still growing.

"As a result, transport is expected to be our biggest-emitting sector by 2030. So, cutting transport emissions is crucial to Australia’s net-zero strategy."

"Current domestic emissions by transport mode are skewed. The vast bulk (85%) of total annual carbon-dioxide-equivalent (CO₂-e) emissions comes from road transport. It’s followed by air (8%), rail (4%) and sea (2%) transport."

"From an emissions perspective, high-speed electric rail is a great alternative to road and air transport for travel between capital cities. It would result in deep emission cuts varying from 75–95%."

Killer roads

"Five people died and four were injured in three car crashes across NSW since 2pm Monday. Federal data released this week shows the national road death toll increased 7 per cent from 2022 to last year, while the NSW toll jumped 25 per cent."

They call for more data on the "death Toll", money and more (killer) roads, but never for a radical infrastructure redesign. No data on "roadkill" of native animals either.
